The ordinance failed in a vote of 5 to 1, with Councilman Robert Peterkin voting in favor, at their meeting on Wednesday. Councilmembers Jim Glendenning and Glenese Petty introduced the ordinance. In a memo from the sponsors of the ordinance council members Pettey and Glendening: “We feel this ordinance is necessary to protect public safety and welfare.” Licensed retail marijuana businesses in Alaska have been able to apply for a “special onsite use endorsement” from the state beginning April 11. Local governments have the option to prohibit endorsements for on-site consumption.

At their meeting on May 1, the council voted down an amended ordinance that would have allowed restricted onsite consumption of marijuana within city limits. If that ordinance had passed, a retail marijuana store could sell marijuana and marijuana products, excluding concentrates, to customers in a consumption area separated from the rest of the store.read more

Laura Buckman for The Texas TribuneDanielle Pellett, a Democrat running for Texas’ 32nd Congressional District, campaigns on Sept. 15, 2017.The first time Dani Pellett tackled the bathroom question was years before the issue of transgender access to restrooms would become a matter of political debate — and more than a decade before Pellett would enter the political realm herself.Pellett was in her early twenties then, a University of North Texas student just two months shy of seeking a commission as an Air Force pilot. But “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” was still in effect, and she knew that to receive a commission she’d have to hide her gender dysphoria. Pellett ultimately dropped out of air force training, transitioned, founded a support group and began to advocate for gender-neutral bathrooms on campus. Eventually, the group was successful.“Did we just win? Oh, I think we did!” Pellett recalls thinking. The political victory got her hooked.Thirteen years later, Pellett finds herself challenging U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions, a Dallas Republican. Sessions’ North Texas district overlaps with State Senate District 8, where Pamela Curry is planning to run as a Democrat for a rare open seat.Both women are among a tiny group of transgender Texans who have run for office in recent years, partly in response to Republican leaders’ support for laws that target the transgender community. The Texas Legislature devoted part of this year’s regular legislative session and a special session this summer to proposals that would restrict transgender individuals’ bathroom use in public buildings. No bathroom bills made it to the governor.Pellett and Curry intend to be on the ballot in 2018, and two other transgender candidates ran for local offices earlier this year. Johnny Boucher made an unsuccessful bid for Grand Prairie’s school board and Sandra Faye Dunn lost her bid for a seat on the Amarillo College Board of Regents.Four people in two years are hardly a speck in a state of nearly 28 million, but that number means Texas currently has more transgender candidates than any other state, according to Logan Casey, a Harvard researcher who studies LGBTQ representation in politics. And it’s a disproportionately large group — Texas carries just under 9 percent of the country’s population, but about 14 percent of its current transgender candidates.Casey said the political debate over measures targeting transgender Texans has galvanized that community.“When you use a group as a political tool the way the bathroom bill has been used in Texas, that has effects on the marginalized group that is being used,” Casey said. “It’s not surprising to me that, given the hyper politicization of LGBTQ issues and particularly trans issues in Texas in the last couple years, that there are a lot of people — proportionately — running for office in Texas.”The state actually has a relatively robust history of transgender politicians, according to Casey’s research. There’s Phyllis Frye, an associate municipal judge in Houston, who was appointed to her post in 2010; and Jennifer Gale, who ran unsuccessfully 12 times for a host of political offices between 1997 and 2008. Last year, Jenifer Rene Pool won the Democratic primary for Precinct 3 on the Harris County Commissioners Court with 78 percent of the vote but lost in the general election.And then there’s Jess Herbst, mayor of the tiny town of New Hope in Collin County, who received “overwhelming support” earlier this year when she came out as transgender after being appointed to her position. Herbst, whose term is up in May, said she plans to run again. “The only way that we’re ever going to have true equality is if we have a seat at the table where they’re making decisions,” she said. “And the only way to do that is to run for office. No one gets treated fairly until they’re there.”Curry will face at least one opponent in the Democratic primary for her state senate bid. The Republican primary for the seat has turned into a high-profile affair, with both Angela Paxton, the wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Phillip Huffines, brother to state Sen. Don Huffines, vying for the open seat. Curry cited bigotry at the state level as one of her motivations for seeking office.“People need to be treated fairly and equally,” said Curry, whose legislative priorities include nondiscrimination measures, as well as health care and protecting local rule. “People use these so-called religious arguments to discriminate. That’s not in the Bible.”Transgender candidates said their bids for office were about more than blocking specific legislation. Some also pointed to the symbolic importance of appearing on the ballot.Dunn, who made an unsuccessful run for mayor of Amarillo in 2011 before entering the Board of Regents race this year, said she’s proud that through her campaigns, she has been able to “represent the community in a positive way.”“Yes, I wanted to be a role model. Yes, I wanted trans young people to know that we get it, we understand what you’re going through,” Dunn said. “It’s important because it lets people know that we’re not these monsters that some people try to put us out to be.”That visibility can have important political implications, too. “Having transgender candidates run in that state for particular offices, even completely unrelated offices, can affect the perception of where things are in that state,” said Don Haider-Markel, a University of Kansas professor who studies LGBTQ political participation. “If you don’t have a trans candidate running for office, and they’re debating this bathroom bill in the state legislature, it’s seen that there’s no political power for this group out there. But if you do have candidates running, all of a sudden the debate shifts.”But all four candidates said they often wish their identity didn’t play such a large role in their campaigns.“It kinda always strings back into, ‘You’re a trans candidate running for office, so we’re gonna talk about you being trans,’” Pellett said. “It’s a little aggravating to hear, ‘You’re just running because you’re trans.’ I never was, and I’m not now.”Nationally, the number of transgender candidates is on the rise, though the totals are so small that it’s hard to trace a significant pattern. Researchers said that so far, transgender candidates have followed the model set by other marginalized groups who have achieved increasing political success in recent decades but continue to face significant obstacles. In some surveys of potential voters, hypothetical transgender candidates receive less support, by 5 to 7 percentage points, than hypothetical gay or lesbian candidates, Haider-Markel said.Part of the challenge for these transgender candidates is they aren’t running in the state’s liberal centers. Both Curry and Pellet, for instance, are running in districts that have historically leaned Republican. Sessions won his most recent election with a handy 71 percent. But the race to challenge him has drawn nearly a dozen Democrats because Hillary Clinton won Sessions’ district in the 2016 presidential election despite losing the state to Donald Trump by 9 points. Pellett, who has raised about $15,000, faces candidates with ties to Clinton and former President Barack Obama.For her part, Curry — who is hoping to replace state Sen. Van Taylor, a Plano Republican running for Congress — is still focused on collecting signatures.“It’s not a defeatist thing — I know it’s an uphill battle,” Curry said. But that’s not the most important thing: “Even if we don’t win, we’ve raised that bar.” Haider-Markel said that for transgender candidates running in deep-red states like Texas, the challenges are many. But so are the potential payoffs. Even a victory in a primary can be an enormous step forward, he said. And that can bolster candidates in future races.Pellett said she often gets asked why, as a transgender woman, she’d want to live — let alone seek office — in a place like Texas.“And I’m like, ‘Hell no, I’m going to stay here and make it better,’” she said. “If you don’t like it here, take a run and try to change it.” Shareread more

For many nerds, Stan Lee is a legend, but that probably doesn’t mean that he needs to take on legendary status in a movie about his “life.”The Hollywood Reporter stated that the studio behind the X-Men franchise acquired Lee’s life rights and will make a 1970s period, James Bond-esque action movie, described as “Roger Moore’s 007” by an inside source.As THR details:“The project will be no biopic, but rather an adventure with Lee as the main character. Kingsman and Moore-era James Bond movies had dapper heroes who quipped one-liners — and, in Moore’s case, flirted with the ladies — as they sparred with larger-than-life evildoers.” When you hear that 20th Century Fox is bringing Stan Lee’s story to the big screen, you’d normally expect a biopic. Maybe a drama about his relationship with Jack Kirby? The rise of Marvel? How he struggled with comics while wanting to make the “great American novel?” His life is well-documented so there would be a lot there.Not sure what the point of this kind of movie would be. Lee has always seemed larger than life, even in his nineties, but to greenlight a film not even based on his life after acquiring his actual life rights seems disrespectful. It’s as if his real-life story isn’t as interesting as one that a movie studio could make up, or that the story behind a major pop culture phenomenon like Marvel wasn’t good enough for a film.It doesn’t even seem like it would add anything to the conversation about Lee. What would a completely fictional fantasy about how great Stan Lee is say about the man? Not much.So far, the movie is only an idea. No writer has been hired yet for the screenplay. Hopefully it’ll go through some changes before hitting production. Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, the producers behind Twilight and the Power Rangers film adaptation are set to produce.No word yet if Lee will also make a cameo in his own film.read more

New Echo Dot, Echo Plus, and Echo ShowNot exactly a new product, but the popular tiny Echo Dot speaker is getting an upgrade. The device ($50) is still small but the new driver (1.6 inches instead of 1.1) makes it a more viable speaker in its own right when it comes to sound quality and power. If you still want a full-sized Echo though the Echo Plus ($150) also got an upgrade with better sound, voice control without Wi-Fi, and a temperature sensor for, say, turning on fans when it’s hot. And when you want some visuals to go along with all this sound, the new 10-inch Echo Show ($230) has all the benefits of an Echo speaker with the added benefit of being able to look at stuff like photos or your family over the internet. Amazon Smart PlugSmart plugs are already an established idea in the smart home space. So much of smart home tech is just intelligently knowing when to turn something on and off, so adding some brains to the conduit that provides power just makes sense. But the Amazon Smart Plug is naturally very compatible with Alexa, giving it that extra bump in easy convenience smart home tech thrives on. $25. Stay on target Amazon’s ‘Marvelous’ Gas Station Discount Causes Chaos in CaliforniaAmazon to Donate Unsold Products Instead of Trashing Them After speculations and leaks on their own websites, Amazon revealed a slate of new hardware at a surprise Echo Alexa event. As the name implies, the devices are all apart of the Alexa digital assistant ecosystem, giving you more control over more parts of your smart home with just your voice, and giving Jeff Bezos more money to create schools where “kids are customers.”Obviously the whole point of a smart home ecosystem is that you’re supposed to buy all the devices, creating an interconnected environment more intelligent than the sum of its parts. But even if you just want to dabble with the increasingly personable Alexa instead of diving in you should check out these new products, coming throughout this year, to see if just one is interesting to you.Echo SubPeople buy Amazon Echo for the novelty and convenience of talking to their house. But it’s also a speaker, and given its popularity, Echo should be at least a competent way of listening to music out loud. The Echo Sub enhances Amazon’s audio experience offering with “100W deep bass sound.” And given than Alexa devices are all about connecting with each other, you can pair the 6-inch subwoofer with other Echo speakers for “dynamic” stereo sound. $130. Echo InputEcho Input is like an Echo Dot without a speaker, just the microphones. At first that sounds as strange as an iPod without a screen or an iPhone without a headphone jack. But really it’s for adding Echo (and therefore Alexa) functionality to existing speakers you know and love. $35.Echo Link and Echo Link AmpWhen you want to combine Alexa’s intelligence with serious sound equipment, now you can with Echo Link ($200). Plug all sorts of digital and analog inputs from your existing audio ecosystem to integrate them with Alexa’s music control tools. The Echo Link is made to work with stereos, receivers, and amplifiers like the new Echo Link Amp ($300), a 60W two-channel amplifier that also plays nice with existing sound systems but naturally has all the Alexa perks baked-on.Echo Wall Clock, Amazon Basics Microwave, Echo AutoAmazon is really just flexing at this point, adding Alexa functionality to every appliance it can think of. Want a wall clock ($30) to really tells you when you’re running out of time? You’ve got it. You want a microwave ($60) that proactively buys more popcorn and knows what to do when you just shout “potato?” You’ve got it. Want a custom Alexa for your dang car? With Echo Auto ($25 if you’re invited, $50 next year if not) you’ve got it.

Japan has started testing the world’s fastest bullet train, capable of reaching speeds as much as 400 kilometers per hour (249 miles per hour).Called the ALFA-X, the train is scheduled to go into service with Japanese rail company JR East in 2030, Bloomberg reported.Once it enters operation, JR East plans to operate it at 360 kph (224 mph), which would make it 10 kph faster than China’s Fuxing Hao, which has the same top speed capabilities as the ALFA-X.The ALFA-X’s most striking feature is its sleek nose, which measures 72 feet (22 meters), and is designed to cope with massive wind resistance when entering tunnels, according to Bloomberg. The train’s futuristic design also features 10 cars, painted in metallic silver with green stripes.The train, which marks a new stage of growth for the Shinkansen network of high-speed railway lines in Japan, begins test runs Friday between the cities of Aomori and Sendai at night, to be conducted over three years.Japanese rail company JR East unveils its new test bullet train ‘ALFA-X’ in Rifu, Miyagi prefecture on May 9, 2019. (Photo Credit: JIJI PRESS / AFP / Getty Images)Just a year ago, Japan started testing its new Shinkansen N700S, which will enter operation in 2020, according to CNN. But with the N700S’s maximum speeds of 300 kph (186 mph), the ALFA-X will easily outpace it.The testing of new bullet train models coincides with Japan’s preparations to host the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Japan’s bullet trains made their debut in the same year as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and have since become a symbol of the country’s focus on efficiency and reliability.Magnetic levitation, or maglev, trains however still hold the record for fastest trains. Shanghai is home to the fastest commercially operating Maglev train, which has a top speed of 268 mph, enabling it to cover a 19-mile distance in just seven minutes and 20 seconds.More on Geek.com:World’s First All-Weather Autonomous Bus Rolls Out in FinlandThis $5 Million Solar-Powered Super Yacht Cruises in ‘Pure Silence’Watch: Brand-New Airbus A330neo Assembled in Two Minutes Hydrogen-Powered Plane Can Fly 20 Passengers Up to 500 MilesAirbnb For Work Simplifies Business Travel Stay on targetread more

Consumers could soon be looking at cheese in a new light. Switzerland has played host to a ground-breaking study which goes beyond the usual factors of appearance, taste, and smell. The title is simple but surreal: Cheese in Surround Sound. Experts describe it in their press release as “a culinary art experiment,” seeking to establish a credible link between cheese and music. For a more thorough scientific explanation, the reader must consider how “the bio-acoustic impact of sound waves affects metabolic processes in cheese, to the point where a discernible difference in flavor becomes apparent – one which can even be visualized using food technology.”Beat Wampfler wanted to find the answer to a simple question – can music improve the flavor of cheese?The man who triggered this unique investigation is Beat Wampfler, a name that wouldn’t sound out of place in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. Wampfler is, in fact, a veterinarian and part-time cheese maker.The study took place at Bern University of the Arts and used sonochemistry to explore the effects of different types of music on maturing cheese wheels. Sonochemistry “looks at the influences of sound waves, the effect of sound on solid bodies” according to Michael Harenberg, director of the university’s music program, quoted by Smithsonian.com.Rock music cheese. Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP/Getty ImagesHarenberg and his students partnered with Wampfler and the Käsehaus K3 cheese shop in Burgdorf as part of an annual cultural initiative. A little persuading was required from the cheese maker’s end but things soon ran smoother than Emmental.No wonder this was the cheese selected for the project. 9 wheels — each weighing 22 pounds — were left in separate crates to mature, with some of the greatest names in music playing by way of company. Led Zeppelin, Mozart and A Tribe Called Quest amongst others aided the “complex dance between milk and bacteria” over a period of six and a half months.A jury of experts tasted the cheeses on March 14, 2019 and the winner was the cheese matured to the sound of hip-hop. Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFPReuters reports that “The experiment, instead of using loudspeakers, used mini transmitters to conduct the energy of the music into the cheese.” This apparently resulted in a more direct musical hit than something like a Marshall sound system would allow. But it wasn’t all rocking out and getting a freak on for the smelly test subjects. “A control cheese aged in silence,” writes Smithsonian.com, “while three other wheels were exposed to simple high, medium and low-frequency tones.”Related Video: A Day in The Life of a Modern Kitchen – from the PastFollowing this, the cheeses were looked at by food technologists from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and then tasted by what the press release proudly bills as “a star-studded panel of judges, featuring artists, chefs and politicians”.Since last September, the cheeses have each been blasted with sonic masterpieces from the likes of rock gods Led Zeppelin and hip-hop legends A Tribe Called Quest, to techno beats, ambient choirs and Mozart’s classic Magic Flute. Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFPPerhaps the strangest part of the story is that the experiment has produced compelling evidence. The verdict was especially strong with regards the cheese exposed to hip hop.ZHAW concluded that this example “displayed a discernibly stronger smell and stronger, fruitier taste than the other test samples.” One taste tester, chef Benjamin Luzuy, favored the Mozart-infused cheese but the hip hop has become the model for milk-based manipulation going forward.Whether this is a genuine discovery, or if the altered flavor is merely in the person’s mind, remains to be seen. Further examinations are to be made via biomedical tests. Contradicting that old saying, the proof of the pudding (or at least the cheesecake) may not be in the eating. Not that Wampfler is losing his fromage-oriented faith.Photo by Fabrice COFFRINI / AFP“I am convinced that humidity, temperature or nutrients are not the only things that influence taste,” he commented to Smithsonian.com “Sounds, ultrasounds or music can also have physical effects.”Read another story from us: Rare Vintage Music Typewriter Lets You Type Sheet Music“Here comes the science part,” has never sounded weirder. It’s hoped the new findings will attract the cream of the culinary and scientific communities. If it doesn’t, then the whole house of curds could collapse.read more

March 4, 2011 – A 3-D mammography system and other ready-to-market technologies in women’s imaging will be showcased at the National Interdisciplinary Breast Center Conference (NCBC) in Las Vegas. Hologic’s Selenia Dimensions technology is the first commercially available breast cancer screening and diagnosis system to deliver breast tomosynthesis. Mammography systems using conventional 2-D imaging have limitations caused by tissue overlapping tissue in the breast that may hide lesions or cause benign areas to appear suspicious.In clinical studies, radiologists reading 2-D plus 3-D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) compared to 2-D mammography alone demonstrated superior clinical performance in specificity. They also had the confidence to rule out breast cancer without recalling the patient for further study, and demonstrated improved sensitivity, the proportion of mammograms which include breast cancers that were correctly diagnosed.The system was approved for sale in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2011.It also gives radiologists the option of offering their patients a conventional 2-D digital mammogram and a 3-D tomosynthesis exam — all under one compression. It takes just seconds, at a combined X-ray dose below the FDA’s acceptable maximum guidelines for screening mammography.Also shown for the first time at NCBC are two new products designed specifically for the Selenia Dimensions 2D/3D system: the Affirm upright breast biopsy guidance system and ImageChecker 3D Calc computer-aided detection. Affirm is cleared for sale in the United States. ImageChecker 3D Calc is a work in progress and is not available for sale in the United States.With the recent acquisition of Sentinelle Medical, Hologic is also highlighting a suite of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tools.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, an icon of the Latin American left who chronicled the region’s injustices in a career that spanned decades and crossed genres, died Monday at age 74.Galeano, whose 1971 essay “Open Veins of Latin America” is considered by many leftists to be the seminal history of the region, was hospitalized last week in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo, said officials at the CASMU hospital.He had been suffering from lung cancer.Galeano’s work blended various genres, including journalism, fiction, essays and the drawings he used to illustrate works such as “The Book of Embraces,” a collection of vignettes charged with politics and lyrical prose.He was known for chronicling the deep injustices of Latin America, but also for his love affair with the region’s contrasts and culture, including a deep passion for football.Born September 3, 1940, Galeano never finished high school, but learned the writing craft hanging out in Montevideo’s old cafes, he said.He began his journalistic career at 14 years old, publishing a caricature in the Socialist Party’s weekly newspaper El Sol.He went on to become the editor of prestigious magazine Marcha in 1961, working under its founder, Carlos Quijano, to publish authors such as fellow Uruguayan great Mario Benedetti.When Uruguay’s former president Juan Maria Bordaberry dissolved the constitution and installed a military-backed dictatorship in 1973, Galeano went into exile — first in Argentina, where he founded the literary review Crisis, and then in Spain.Throughout this turbulent period of leftist rebellions and brutal dictatorships across Latin America, Galeano continued documenting the region’s turmoils from afar, publishing the first two installments of his “Memory of Fire” trilogy, which narrates the history of the Americas.Embarrassed by his classic in later yearsHe returned to Uruguay after democracy was restored in 1985, and lived to see the leftwing Broad Front (FA) party come to power in 2005.He won the prestigious Casa de las Americas prize twice, in 1975 and 1978, and an American Book Award in 1989 for “Memory of Fire.”But his defining work remains “Open Veins,” which inspired a generation of Latin American leftists and continues to feature on the reading lists of regional survey courses at universities worldwide, translated into more than 20 languages.Its take on the region’s history is summed up in its English subtitle: “Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.”In the 1970s, the book was banned by the dictatorships in Chile, Argentina and Galeano’s native Uruguay.But that only increased its sway over the left.In the foreword to the 25th anniversary edition, Chilean writer Isabel Allende called it simply “the book with the yellow cover,” recalling how she “devoured” it as a young woman and kept it with her among the few possessions she took when she fled into exile after Augusto Pinochet seized power in a military coup.The book’s sales surged again in 2009 after late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez gave a copy to US President Barack Obama.But in later years Galeano admitted to being embarrassed by the book’s earnest tone.“I wouldn’t be able to read it again,” he told a book fair in Brazil last year.“To me, that traditional leftist prose is extremely boring. I wouldn’t be physically able to bear it. I’d have to be hospitalized.” Facebook Comments Related posts:Former Tico Times photojournalist, painter Julio Laínez dies at 76 Uruguay plan to sell pot at pharmacies slammed Rolling Stones to tour Latin America PHOTOS: Independence Eve Lantern Paraderead more

Source = e-Travel Blackboard: N.J Tourism leaders from across the globe have banded together in a bid to motivate more governments and businesses to utilise the potential of youth to boost tourism and global development.Included in the San Diego Declaration signed at the World Youth and Student Travel Conference (WYSTC) this week, the movement aims to find alternatives to build on the US$185 billion generating travel industry.According to UNWTO secretary-general Taleb Rifai, youth made up 20 percent of 990 million international tourists travelling in 2011, a market that is both environmentally-aware and more likely to stay at a destination longer.“As such, youth travel has emerged as one of the most promising paths towards a more responsible and sustainable tourism sector,” Mr Rifai said. WYSE Travel Confederation director general Espen Falkenhaug concurred, adding that youth travel is driving “positive growth” in the industry as a whole.“Research continues to show that young travellers contribute economic, cultural and social value to their chosen destination, as well as being enriched by the experience when they return home,” the director general said. “Their unique experiences combine to make a huge difference in cultural understanding and our aim is to ensure that the San Diego Declaration will continue to advance these essential interactions.” Up to 700 delegates attended the WYSTC this year from more than 63 countries worldwide.read more

The annual release of the NFL schedule is becoming more and more like a holiday.That holiday happens Tuesday this year, meaning that Monday has sort of a “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” feel to it.We know who all the opponents are on the Arizona Cardinals’ 2015 schedule — Tuesday’s release will just fill in the blanks of when those games will happen.NFL.com’s Elliott Harrison has already come up with his list of “must-see matchups” for 2015, and the Cardinals’ road game against the Pittsburgh Steelers made the countdown of the top 15. The 5: Takeaways from the Coyotes’ introduction of Alex Meruelo Top Stories Harrison has it as the fourth-most anticipated game of the season.I freaking love this game. These are two clubs that, sans injuries, probably would’ve gone much further than they did in last season’s playoffs. If you dig historical symmetry, then you can see the appeal of this matchup between the participants in one of the best Super Bowls ever. After all, let us not forget who Pittsburgh’s offensive coordinator was for Super Bowl XLIII: you guessed it, current Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians. That contest featured Arizona’s explosive offense, behind Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald, pushing the ball against Dick LeBeau’s famed zone-blitz defense. Today, the Steelers provide the offensive juggernaut, while the Cards are more known for their D. Curious to see if Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown will school Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson at Heinz.This will be just the second Arizona visit to Pittsburgh since the franchise relocated to the Valley in 1988. The first game happened in November of 2003 — a 28-15 Steelers’ win.
